Michael Renna is an enterprise technology and Lean-Agile transformation leader with years of experience leading technology delivery in Fortune 500 environments. He helps executives and delivery organizations connect strategy, product, architecture, governance, and team execution so work moves from intent to measurable business outcomes.

His work sits at the intersection of Lean-Agile transformation, technology leadership, and practical AI adoption. Michael focuses on the operating systems behind successful change: value streams, portfolio flow, decision rights, delivery governance, metrics, and the leadership behaviors needed to improve performance at scale.

As a speaker, Michael brings a practical, executive-ready perspective shaped by real-world delivery constraints — not theory, hype, or ceremony for its own sake. His sessions help leaders see where transformation efforts stall, how to improve flow across complex organizations, and how to use AI as part of a disciplined operating model rather than another disconnected initiative.

Press: Featured in National Law Review and Atlanta Today, with syndication across the EIN Presswire network of 800+ outlets, and praised by industry analyst Jeff Kagan as "a clear example of how quickly the AI landscape is evolving and new opportunities are emerging" (March 2026).

Wilson Guenther is the Founder, CEO and CTO of Drivia — what Wilson calls "the personalization infrastructure of the AI era." Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, adopted at age 10 by an American family, Wilson arrived in the United States on New Year's Eve 2013. He taught himself to code in college and shipped 1,891+ commits across six live software products from his dorm room — no funding, no co-founders.

Drivia is the Canvas-class adaptive AI platform powering enterprise learning, higher ed, and public-sector workforce training. JAX, Drivia's adaptive AI tutor, runs Q-learning + Bayesian Knowledge Tracing on top of a UCB1 router across six AI models (Claude, Gemini, OpenAI, Grok, DeepSeek, Groq) with circuit breakers — co-architected with Frank Morales, a Boeing Fellow. Drivia is currently in active multi-million-dollar contract negotiation with TechServ Corporation as channel partner across healthcare, public safety, workforce, and city/county program markets. Accelerators: NVIDIA Inception, AMD Instinct, AWS Activate.

Wilson is also the author of the Drift Thesis — original IP on context decay and adaptive intelligence — and the System Architect newsletter on LinkedIn (16,100% growth in seven days). He has 2.2M+ combined social following (TikTok 1.1M, Instagram 633K, Facebook 471K) with one video at 44 million views, has appeared on Family Feud (Steve Harvey), Rich House Poor House (UK), and KVUE Austin News, and has consulted for Linktree and Beacons.

In the 90 days ending September 2026, 105 colleagues queried it through agents like Claude, across project management, engineering and back-office. Most of them do not write code.

He wrote The Missing Layer, which introduces Introspective Context Engineering for MCP, a method for turning a thin API wrapper into a Rich Domain MCP Server. His open-source mcp-metadata-demo runs the same server as a thin, a rich and a best version, publishes the evals behind each design rule, and ships a skill that runs the loop against your own server.

For 25 years I have been committed to several business projects in the field of information and communication technologies.

Primarily linked to Microsoft's cloud technology in 2014 I'm on the basis of Microsoft Office 365, Microsoft Dynamics 365, and Microsoft Azure. Always with a clear vocation to create business solutions that outperform management to improve productivity, business generation and process automation from web services, devices to business analytics.

During 2015, the ICT for you circuit actively participates, with more than 52 conferences that helped me learn more about the #TRANSFORMACIONDIGITAL.

In 2020 we undertook a project to consolidate the CRM & Dynamics 365 business unit that today is the spearhead of more than 100 micro companies, and large companies by Microsoft, and its entire application ecosystem.

Today we can say sales & marketing are consolidated as one of the main challenges of companies, digitalization drives the need to take action and bet on methodology versus vocation.
